🥚 NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectile’s velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🫁🧪 #MIT engineers created a #hydrogel with microscopic air channels inspired by human #lungs.

The material is 70% #water but lets #oxygen and water vapor pass through 10 times better than conventional hydrogels. In small human tests skin stayed cool and dry during #exercise while silicone patches caused sweating and a 6.5°C temperature rise.
